Marlos C. Machado, Eduardo P. C. Fantini, Luiz Chaimowicz · 2011
Player Modeling is currently a very relevant topic in game AI research. This tutorial presents the main topics related to the field, intending to be a summary and a guide of some of the most relevant works on this subject. This text starts discussing the importance of Player Modeling and its applicability. We then define and present a taxonomy of the field and discuss several application examples and common techniques used in the area. Since we intend to help a new researcher in the field to start its own work, we also list several game platforms that are suitable for experimentation and present a simple example that discusses important research topics.
